Jolene Mariea Kelly, 28, appeared before Chief Judge Nancy Orr in provincial court in Charlottetown where she pleaded guilty to being unlawfully at large.
Kelly was sentenced Sept. 20 to 60 days in jail for uttering a forged document by trying to cash a $1,000 cheque she wrote to herself while working at the nursing home where the victim lived.
She was supposed to serve that time on weekends starting Sept. 23.
The court heard she didn’t show up.
On Sept. 28 the police arrested Kelly while she was meeting with her probation officer.
Kelly showed up to the jail every weekend since.
Her lawyer, Yolande Murphy, told the court it was a misunderstanding and Kelly thought the sentence started the next weekend.
Orr said she was having difficulty understanding how Kelly would be confused about when her sentence started.
“An intermittent sentence is a privilege, not a right,” Orr said.
Along with the extra 15 days, Kelly will serve the rest of her sentence as straight time instead of on weekends.
She must also pay a $100 victim surcharge.
